Overview

A system where "Players will be able to craft Enhancements and Costume pieces for their characters using recipes, and salvage that they find while adventuring." [1] It has also been stated that the long-rumored "Legacy System", which would allow for additional improvements of level 50 characters, has evolved/been wrapped up into the Invention System. [2]

The University

The University is the place where players learn to use the Invention System. Players can take a series of tutorial missions to learn about the system. The University also holds many Invention Worktables at which inventions may be created.

Inventing in General

Inventions are created by combining salvage, influence/infamy and a recipe at a worktable.

Those digging through the game files [3] have also found references to a number of temporary powers that appear to be intended to come from the Invention system. Examples listed include a Bat, Sledgehammer, Revolver, and "Etherial", which is basically a single use Phase Shift.
